Which brand(s) are you on just now ? I'm off gin until April but I shall begin by finishing ( if that's possible) the bottle of Beefeater I opened last September. I usually go for slightly higher quality offerings such as Tanqueray and Morrison's Best and I'm happy with Schweppes tonic. Fever Tree doesn't really do it for me. I've yet to try Aldi gin but there's a new Aldi being built nearby so there may be an opportunity there.

I love gin! Going to a gin festival this weekend, so excited to try new and different gin without buying a bottle.
I've signed up to a masterclass too, where you can experiment with adding botanicals, will come back on report on it!
I have so many that I love, but my budget friendly favourite is jj Whitley London dry. Roku is amazing but more ££

My favourites are Ophir with fever tree original tonic and my dads Gordon’s which he infused with vanilla saffron and cardamon. Which I have with Mediterranean fever tree tonic

My favourite is violet gin with low cal tonic and a load of ice.
It's like alcoholic Parma violets.
Love it

Thankyou Lunge. It's on offer until early April so I shall pencil in a purchase.

These are my current favorites, the Larios 12 is about as sweet as I would go, I don’t like much sweetness in my alcohol. I have them with Fevertree light.

I don’t go to Lidl often but there is one near DS’s boxing club so I might nip in and try the Hortus.

I won some Blackwoods 2012 vintage in a school tombola and opened it last night - best tombola prize ever.

I had Gin Ting gin the other day, fruity and delicious 😋

Bought some Blackwood's for eighteen quid yesterday. I still have more than half a bottle of Beefeater so it will be weeks before I get to it.

Shamelessly reigniting this thread!

Usually I love Whitley Neill, but I have a Aloe and Cucumber of theirs that I am struggling with., I also think their Blackberry is a bit synthetic tasting. Has anyone tried their Grapefruit flavour? I'm interested...

Loving the Tanquaray Sevilla.

Big fan of Needle gin (found in Aldi)

Interested to know if anyone has tried the new Asda gins. They have Lemon Sherbert, Parma Violet and Pear Drop. I don't like Parma Violet, so won't do that one, but I love citrus...
